Spent a few days working on this cook. There were a few steps to go through and doing a little each day made the actual cook day much easier. Here goes.

Tried my had at Crusty Sandwich Rolls. Came out pretty good. Much better than anything I can find around here.

In addition to grilling the Tri Tip, the recipe included making a Tomato Jam, a Cream Cheese Spread and pickled onions to top the meat. After finishing the rolls I got to work on the Tomato Jam. Here's the fixings for the Jam. Tomatoes, lime zest and juice, jalapeno with seeds, brown sugar, fresh ginger, chopped garlic and cumin, a cinnamon stick and salt to taste.

Mixed all the ingredients and got on some medium to low direct heat. Took about 45 minutes to complete the reduction.

Man were these good. So many wonderful flavors. The tomato jam was sweet with just a little pop from the jalapenos. The cheese spread and the onions added great flavor and that Santa Maria Rub is packed with great spices that compliments Tri Tip perfectly. Again, a lot of work but worth every bite. Hope you all are having St. Patrick's Day. As soon as I finish up this post, I'll be jumping over to our SPD cook for tonight. Thank you all for looking.
 
There’s only one thing I don’t like about that...
I don’t have one! I say that even before I’ve had breakfast!!!
 
You have taken the tri-tip sandwich to new heights. Bravo!!!

The color of the reduced tomato jam is incredible.
 
Cliff, you sent that one way way out of the ball park. Amazing cook, it all looks so fantastic I just need a plate full. Will you share the roll recipe, we to have trouble finding good rolls like that. Thanks.
 
Don't know how you come up with these ideas Cliff, but you sure have some super skills. Amazing cook!
 
Cliff I hate to say this this looks just awful you could hurt yourself eating something like this. Just leave it but the backdoor and I will force it down I know it is awfully brave of me but that is the kind of guy I am.
